Detecting Stars at the Galactic Centre via Synchrotron Emission
... detectable via thermal emission, we have shown that stars such as S2 may be detectable via synchrotron emission. Figure 1 shows that the contrast of synchrotron flux relative to Sgr A* is maximized around the 1.4 GHz band. However, due to scattering we will need to use a higher frequency, around 10 ...
